Buy or Sell?

Florian would be the toughest fighter Aldo has ever faced. 2 Anderson will retire after the Okami fight win or lose. 3 Shane Carwin will get a UFC title at some point. 4 Diaz is GSP's most dangerous opponent in ages. 5. Cruz vs Faber will go to a decision.

1. Buy - though I still think Ken-Flo would choke again2. Buy - Only if the GSP fight dosen't get made, which I see as happening3. Sell - unless he works on his cardio and there's either a mass injury spree or a sudden darth of talent4. Sell - On paper he's not. But come fight night that may not be the case. But since we won't know for suretill then I'll go with Sell. 5. Buy - Both guys are so skilled that - again on paper - the only course seems to be decsion.

1. Sell - Florian has to first get past Nunes, and he's always looked good against contenders, but never fares well against top tier fighters in any weight class.

2. Sell - If Okami beats Anderson, I'm sure Anderson will want a rematch. If Anderson beats Okami (and I'm sure he will, then Anderson is going to want one more fight either against Sonnen or GSP to prove once and for all that he is the greatest of all time.

3. Buy, but Carwin has to first get past JDS. JDS and Cain might have problems if Carwin can last more than one round.

4. Buy, but Diaz has had problems in the past with wrestlers, and GSP has the best wrestling adapted for MMA.

1. Buy - I know Aldo was sick vs Hominick, but his gas tank looked suspect once he was fighting someone who was REALLY fighting back.. and Kenny would be fighting back.2. Sell - I just don't see it happening. Too many unanswered superfight questions. (GSP, Jones)3. Buy - He'll get it very soon.4. Sell - Saw it the 1st time when it was Alves. Saw it the 2nd time when it was Hardy. Yaaaawn...5. Buy - I couldn't imagine any other outcome.

1. Buy (The FW division is much weaker than the LW) 2. Sell (Anderson still has fights as long as he's winning) 3. Sell (He was already interim champion once don't think he will regain it.) 4. Sell (Diaz actually might be GSPs least dangerous opponent in a while aside from Hardy and Serra) 5. Buy (It is likely this sees the final bell especially if Cruz retains.)

Sell - Kinda tough to tell until Kenny's actually had a featherweight fight.Sell - I can't handle that right now.Sell - Need to see Carwin get past round 1 without gassing first.Buy - Diaz is someone who will keep coming at GSP with everything he has, no hesitation.Buy - Both guys are extremely talented and Cruz has improved a lot since their first fight.
